Baker’s lawyer, Jamal Hamood, said he plans to file a motion Friday to cancel the warrant. Hamood said Baker wasn’t served with papers and didn’t know she had been sued in 2011 by Ray A. Smith Painting & Decorating.

Hamood said Baker is out of town and will remain so until the warrant issue is cleared up.

Daniel Gerow, a lawyer for Ray A. Smith Painting & Decorating, told The Detroit News he doesn’t want Baker to go to jail, but only wants to see his client get paid.
